Louis Graham
Graham has worked at the CA for 33 years, the last three as managing editor. Here is Graham’s quote from the CA release:
“This is not something I envisioned when I started as a bureau reporter in our Jackson, Tennessee, bureau right out of college. But it’s something I take very seriously,” Graham said Monday. “I revere the institution and what it has meant to the region for 173 years. My goal is to contribute to its history in a meaningful way by keeping the journalism strong and relevant.”
